"Today is Mother 's Day. We went to Thirsty Beaver as a family of 4 (2 young kids, 2 adults) excited to be out of the house and expecting excellent service and treatment, as we usually get. My son (2) was running up and down an aisle between rows of tables where there are no patrons. None, just us at the end of the row. I 'm hyper-vigilant, waiting for someone to be seated I this row and no one was. So I let him keep running! He was in no one 's way and I told more than one staff member that I would stop him if he was in the way. No one said anything. Until the manager ? Idk who he was. Told my husband stop the running and keep the volume down please . Literal knife to the gut. The awareness of what my kids are doing and how it could be perceived is exhausting and all I was thinking about since we arrived. Keep the volume down? Please enlighten me on how to tell a 2 year old to be quieter. All I can say is we 'll find a different family restaurant which is a massive shame since we 've been using Thirsty Beaver as our family place for 5+ years. Happy Mother 's Day, my a"
